This ride is over.

America.Rides.Maps is home safe.

Better than Sheetz or WaWa!

So far the No Interstate / No major roads plan is working out fine. Lots of it lane and a half, even single lane roads, all paved.

An early start! Finally. 

I'm an idiot. Again, the GoPro was in "shoot photos" mode and not video mode so I got no video. 

I have seriously got to practice this more often so I don't make these beginner mistakes any more, or just put on my @$#!@#$# glasses.

So it looks like my GPS flaked out and is also missing some of the track. I think you're right, it's a case of maxed out storage, at least that's my best guess.

My GPS only tracked 1650 miles but I swear it must have been over 2000. I think Wayne's hypothesis that the GPS flakes out when storage is full might be correct.

I thought I took a photo of the odometer before I left but apparently I did not. Oh well. I'm guessing something like 2040 miles for the trip. We'll see what the tracks have to say when I upload them.

Yermo is home safe.

I delayed it as long as I reasonably could: 

Arrived safely at McGinty’s well before the kitchen closed.

My shoulder feels a little tweaked but otherwise I seem to be holding up well.

The ride back was fast and uneventful. Even around DC the weather is pleasant.

And I keep wondering,”What’s that smell?” Must be the smell of adventure.

Final gas stop for the long slog home. 
The bike took 4.27 gallons at 193.4 miles .

Waiting 30 or so minutes worked:  

Jackie and I worked our way along the Virginia / West Virginia border from Berkeley Springs, WV to Tazewell, VA. Some highway, some GPS routing, and some spontaneous. We’ve arrived and checked in to The Old Jail.
